A method for searching for a compound that mimics the effects induced by a caloric restriction (CR) program. The method comprises administering a CR diet program to a first group of mammals for a predetermined amount of time and administering a dosage of at least one compound to a second group of mammals for a term which is less than or equal to the predetermined amount of time. The method further comprises assessing changes in gene expression levels, levels of nucleic acids, proteins, or protein activity levels and determining whether the compound mimics effects induced by the CR diet program.
一种寻找可模仿热量限制(CR)方案诱导效应的化合物的方法。该方法包括在预定时间内对第一组哺乳动物实施热量限制饮食计划,并在小于或等于预定时间的期限内对第二组哺乳动物实施至少一种化合物的剂量。该方法还包括评估
基因表达
水平、核酸
水平、蛋白质
水平或蛋白质活性
水平的变化,并确定化合物是否能模拟 CR 饮食方案诱导的效果。
